Sixt Car Rental is an international mobility service provider with about 2,000 locations in more than 100 countries. Sixt SE acts as a parent and holding company of the Sixt Group, which is internationally active in the business areas of vehicle rental, car sharing, ride-hailing, and subscription.
Who owns Sixt Car Rental?
The majority of the company is owned by the Sixt family, who manage the company. The remaining share is tradeable stock: SIX2 (XETRA). Martin Sixt founded the Sixt Company in 1912 with just three rental cars in downtown Munich, Germany. Still operated by the Sixt family, Sixt retains the innovative spirit of its founder.
Sixt is constantly reinventing the car rental experience with new booking channels, award-winning advertising, and cutting-edge, streamlined processes. Nowadays, it can take just 30 seconds to pick up a rental car. A long way from its humble beginnings, Sixt is the number one rental brand in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and a publicly listed company with over 300,000 automobiles around the globe.
In 2020, Sixt sold all its shares in Sixt Leasing SE to focus its business on its mobility services. In June 2020, Sixt acquired 10 concessions at U.S. airports from Advantage Rent a Car. The acquisition increased the number of Sixt stations in the United States to more than 85. At end of July 2020, Lyft and Sixt announced cooperation, where Lyft app users can rent a car from both partners through the app.
